Had a good batch of clones this run, I swear co2 affects every plant irregardless of age. Granted I had to upgrade the ac but it was turn off the gas or get a bigger ac.
19 day cut non-selects

Was thinking about trying some sour dough starter in a couple jars next round! It can be beneficial in running higher temps right?

Your clone game is off the charts!

I’ll get lucky from time to time with a clone. I figure it can’t hurt and you’ll get some good bread to boot!

Big K, it just wasn’t your day. Another male from the sexing box. Think I remember saying it once but…if you only get one seed to germinate out of a say 5 seeds, it’s gonna be male

Plum Crazy x Okie
RDWC is how she was grown, not the reason for the lower than avg yield. That was on me, so I learned some things along the way.
Can’t imagine what she would’ve/could’ve been like cause she wreaks as it is. Look forward to running this gal again soon. I’ve got her as a mother now

The wife’s- cosmos’s coming along

Cloner- 4 days cut and looking happy. With the 3 males I’ve had this group is mothers is missing 2. Skywalker and pure Michigan, both okies
Veg- 5 mothers in the back; candy rain x gojo, project okie, lemon tree x Okie, plum crazy x okie, apples & bananas x Okie. It’s a toss up at this point who flowers next, lemon tree or candy rain


Apples and bananas- flower day 0
Pure Michigan x Okie-2 weeks flower. If you’ve never grown a pure Michigan cross you’re missing out on some fun!!
Apples and bananas- week 6 of flower. This is where the flaws in my system begin to shine. This gal is wind burned. If I turn down the fan she would be light burned. Either way there boitritus spores here so I go with wind burned.
She’s a beauty and those fruit reps are starting to come through. Hard to notice them with stinking plum next to her

3 weeks ago the ac hit its overload
2 weeks ago I got the bill from the ac overload
Yesterday I had a ballast go down, sure it took the bulb with it.

Summer slowdown started 2 weeks early

Was that over flowering plants!? Are you able to get it replaced?

how long did you get out of the ballast and bulb?

man were hurting over here on power usage to cost! Getting ripped off for sure, but grow is life! can’t wait to pop the next run! Should be at the end of this month? Maybe sooner : )

Summer shut down is pretty much official here. Just watering the veggies and outdoors at this point. Also waiting for the drying stuff to dry : )

got a year out of the ballast so it paid its way, same as the bulb. It’s just the damn timing lol

Oh I’m still cracking beans, white runtz is under the dome now. That will be #3 that’s not seen flower yet. I’ll be ready for a fall run lol

The wife’s- cosmos are taking off. I tried the extras in some pots. I’ve never been much of a fan”pot” grower but you guys taught me about the dry back and it’s working!
Cloner- 10 days cut, lights up to 100ppfd
Veg- 5 mothers, got to even out the groups
Apples and bananas- 1 week flower
Pure Michigan- 4 weeks flower, I don’t have light leaks. She just stretches
Apples and bananas- 7 weeks flower, 8.5 flipped. I lost a light and this is the oldest gal in flower. A week early but she’s coming down

Apples and Bananas x Okie- 8.5 flipped. She smells so sweet. She’s got that dense bud structure, interesting to see how she dries down

Yeah 1k hid per plant (3). Was dropping down to 2 after this plant. Ballast had other ideas and I wasn’t buying it for 10 days use. I’m really debating LED’s, probably not lol
